One of the keywords of modern consumerism is ‘choice’. Somewhere in the not too distant past, someone discovered that the best way to succeed in a world economy where people are more and more interested in acquiring new material things is to provide them with a multiplicity of choices. This approach turns the whole situation into a numbers game, and with enough choices available, it is only a matter of statistics that every consumer will eventually find something that he or she likes enough to spend money on. The problem that small and medium enterprises face as consumers of office products, however, is a lack of such choice. Until the advent of AVAYA IP Office and other similar telephone systems, manufacturers simply had not yet moved into the market for office telephone systems among smaller companies.

Even now, products such as the AVAYA IP Office, which was designed from the ground up to be suitable for application in small and medium enterprises, remain rare. The reason for this is that manufacturers perceive the big money to be in catering to the large companies that are able to pay so much more per system purchased. ...
... Such systems are a great boon to small and medium enterprises, because they offer smaller businesses the chance to obtain the same competitive advantage when it comes to communications as large companies have had access to for years.

Another thing that is often taken to be a simple fact of life to be accepted is that scaling down a product to fit smaller businesses inevitably involves eliminating some of the features and functionality from that product. In essence, the principle that ‘you get what you pay for’ should apply. The manufacturers of the AVAYA IP Office fail to agree, however, and the telephone systems they offer are every bit as fully-featured as those being sold to larger companies by other manufacturers.

Just like those systems often purchased by large companies, these telephone systems, besides being fully featured office phone systems, offer a way to consolidate all of the communications channels within the company and centralize them. Centralized communications are a great benefit to any company, no matter how small or large it might be, because it eliminates the wasted productivity that previously resulted from employees having to constantly switch from one form of communication to the next, each time also having to switch physical mediums. Emails had to be done on computers, calls had to be taken on the phone, and so on.

With the AVAYA IP Office system, however, employees will be able to access all of their communications on a single device of their choosing, whether it be a laptop, desktop computer or even a cell phone. While this consolidation may not seem like a major change, in the long run, the productivity wasted by having so many disparate avenues of communication adds up, and saving on that wasted productivity will surely help to increase the company profits.

Resource Box:

In an era of corporate consumerism that has manufacturers pandering to large companies and neglecting small and medium enterprises, the AVAYA IP Office offered by Staveley Communications is one of the few Telephone Systems that has been specifically designed for use by smaller businesses and to address their unique concerns and business needs.
